Crypto billionaires must be stopped from undermining democracy. This is more than that. Politicians are bought by corporations and the super rich. Normal people can't compete in the auction. Must ban all political donations. Let parties be funded by modest membership fees and public money.

In 2024-25 HMRC failed to collect £59.2bn of tax; £500bn since 2010. £12.8bn lost through profit shifting by multinational corporations. Promoters of a business rates avoidance scheme boasted that they have deprived local councils of £500m. Billions can be raised by ending abuses.

SM is awash with sympathy and outrage for Jason Arday. None of it brings him back, which is all his loved ones crave. And when they maybe want more and fight for change, but the privileged close ranks and the comfortable forget him, so nothing changes or things worsen; I feel broken by that future.

You cannot in good conscience ask trans folk to travel to the UK where they cannot use services safely. We've dropped from #1 in Europe for LGBTQI+ rights to out of the top 20 because of the failure to ensure safety and rights to trans, non binary and gender diverse people.
